        Hello I think I found a "weakness" in the BookBrainz search
      • I recently added a book with a Greek title
      • Most words in Greek have an accent mark on one of their vowel
      • Some words can be spelled identical except for that accent mark
      • E.g. γέρος and γερός
      • These are two entirely differently words
      • So, the book I added is the Epic of Gilgamesh
      • The title contain's Gilgamesh's name translated as "Γκίλγκαμες" in Greek with an accent mark on the first vowel
      • The usual spelling has an accent mark on the last vowel
      • Γκιλγκαμές
      • Now, if I search for the book without using any accent marks, I can find it
      • But if I type an accent mark on the last vowel, a.k.a. using the more common spelling, it gives me no results
      • s/identical/identically/
      • s/contain's/contains/
      • Now, I know I can add an alias and I will do it when I get the chance but maybe the search in BB is a little to "sensitive" when it comes to diacritics
      • I just feel like the book should come up regardless of where that accent mark is placed in the word, without having to add an alias, since it's easy to forget to do that
